People seem to forget that it uses the epub format and so you can get books for it anywhere in the world from launch.]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/This would be the ideal tool for having students on mass use in classrooms.
Compact with the normal software as word powerpoint etc....
I would pay na 1000 dolar for it]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
In the end, it'll be up to your preferences and budget if you're going to have the iPad. More Details: http://bit.ly/apple-ipad-under-fire]]>Jan 28th 2010 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
I hate to beat a dead horse but, I don't want to wake up to more iPad news... Engadget should have an option remove all iPad related news like TUAW has to remove all iPhone related news. Apple is so damn arrogant as to release this blatantly ridiculously under featured *profit machine* and think the mass iSheeps will just roll over and buy into it till they are milked for every penny they have. The NERVE of these people to try and convince us that this is the holy grail of mobile computing:

"Way better than a laptop, way better than a phone."

"Our most advance technology in a magical and revolutionary device at an unbelievable price." ]]>Jan 28th 2010 7:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 8:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/

Steve said it has a kindle app, so you can still read lot's of books.
But the iBooks UI/GUI is pretty sweet. That's one thing apple did right.]]>Jan 28th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/hardware/the-ipad-is-not-a-kindle-killer-blame-the-display]]>Jan 28th 2010 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 5:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
No international media content (video) what's new. There are no films nor tv shows in European iTunes (non English) since release!

No books... Ha a small worry.

So a travel and couch cute PC that is OK I guess.

Multitasking, not if that slows it all down and what is the point?

No camera, shucks I will stick to my Nikon, no visio cam , nobody uses that anyway.

So in all not bad but not sure it fits at the price, that will depend on apps that benefit from the screen.]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
Why would I buy 3rd party device in order to read books from the kindle? I think you need to wake up before you post! ]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/

Nah.. It's an Apple. Same thing in this context though.

Still.. Bigger battery, bigger explosion. ]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/And also, why doesn't the so called "inferior" US start using there own TV formats rather than copying ours (interesting fact 50%+ of US TV is taken from British formats).
And don't say thats not tech related because its about TVs so yeah....]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
Hmm, I'm going to have to go with the name "Alan Turing", who led a team of BRITISH engineers during the second world war designing code breakers, and went on to more-or-less define the computer as we know it today. ]]>Jan 28th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Don't forget that the WWW is a British invention too.

But this is all moot. My daddy is bigger than your daddy flame wars are never productive.

Just under one third are American businesses. Not one of the Silicon Valley names you listed are in the top 100, and both Microsoft and IBM are way off the front page.

Having said that, it took a long time for iTunes to come to Australia.

I agree, time for the UK site to get updated already.... plus it would be nice to know the UK pricing and order details. ]]>Jan 28th 2010 6:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 6:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 6:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/Jan 28th 2010 6:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/

Considering Australia's unemployment rate dropped to 5.5% and their median salary is $52k USD, economics 101 indicate that they should get it first. ]]>Jan 28th 2010 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
Australia is not on "the bottom of the planet". That is a Euro-centric and US-centric view of the world.

FYI, the bottom of the planet is actually the Earth's inner core.]]>Jan 28th 2010 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/ipad-ibooks-will-be-us-only/
